Baka people abused in the name of conservation Survival International 2015-06-02 | In southeast Cameroon, Baka hunter-gatherers are being illegally forced from their ancestral homelands in the name of “conservation.”They are accused of “poaching” because they hunt their food.They face arrest and beatings, torture and death at the hand of anti-poaching squads supported by WWF.Many Baka (such as the woman speaking in this video) in fact refer to anti-poaching squads as “dobi-dobi” (WWF), since they do not distinguish between WWF and Cameroon’s Ministry of Forests and Fauna.We are fighting these abuses. But we depend on you. Learn more about conservation: svlint.org/Conservation
“Now, we have become free” Survival International 2023-07-24 | Célestin, from the Baka people in the Congo, explains that the appalling violence they faced for years at the hands of WWF-funded ecoguards has reduced thanks to the international campaign led by Survival together with the Baka, against the Messok Dja project.

Go and tell them that we don’t want to give away our forest” Survival International 2023-04-06 | Listen to Hairani and Toraji, two nomadic Hongana Manyawa from Halmahera, Indonesia, decrying the destruction of their rainforest home by nickel mining companies. The Hongana Manyawa are a hunter-gatherer tribe, hundreds of them are uncontacted and are on the run from mining companies which are destroying their rainforest to get nickel for electric car batteries.

The Nukak will always fight for our family. A big and terrible struggle. Survival International 2023-03-08 | “The Nukak will always fight for our family. A big and terrible struggle”. 🗣Alex Tinyú, an #Indigenous Nukak person from #Colombia, recalls the story of when his people were forced out of their #forest more than 30 years ago. The Nukak's territory was invaded by missionaries, coca growers, settlers and armed groups. After contact, more than half of their people died from disease and violence.

Is nature really a wilderness? Survival International 2023-03-06 | Have you ever thought about the term “wilderness”?Well, it might be about time... the whole idea of “wilderness”, in the sense of pristine #nature, untouched by humans, is a colonial myth.The idea of “wilderness” has its roots in the US in the late 19th century, whereby the agency of #Native Americans in creating diverse landscapes over millennia was expunged, to be replaced with the idea that “nature’” (and God) had formed these lands which white colonists were now charged with protecting.“Wilderness” portrays the land only as “nature”, rather than a lived and managed landscape in which people play a fundamental part. Conservationists often describe forests as pristine so they can carry on with the creation of Protected Areas without the consent of local people, claiming nobody is living there.#DecolonizeMonday

#SullaPelleDegliAyoreo Survival International 2022-12-16 | Survival has filed a formal OECD complaint against Italian company Pasubio, which supplies leather to car makers such as BMW and Jaguar Land Rover. 98% of the leather Italy imports from Paraguay comes from four tanneries that trade with ranches guilty of illegally occupying and deforesting the ancestral land of the Ayoreo-Totobiegosode in Paraguay's Chaco forest - and Pasubio is the main recipient.The forests of the Paraguayan Chaco suffer from one of the highest deforestation rates in the world, and their destruction threatens the survival of the Ayoreo-Totobiegosode and that of their uncontacted relatives living in the forest.
